Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 (14.5-ounce) block firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon kala namak (black salt) or more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons non-dairy milk, unsweetened and unflavored
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat, preferably a cast iron or non-stick pan, to prepare for cooking the tofu.
- Mash the tofu: Crumble or mash the firm tofu directly in the heated pan using a fork, potato masher, or your hands. Cook while stirring frequently for 3 to 4 minutes until most of the water from the tofu has evaporated.
- Add seasonings: Sprinkle in the nutritional yeast, kala namak, turmeric, and garlic powder. Stir constantly and cook for about 5 minutes to blend the flavors well and start to brown the tofu.
- Develop golden spots: Continue cooking the tofu without stirring for a few minutes at a time until golden spots form on some parts, enhancing the texture and taste according to your preference.
- Incorporate milk and finish: Pour the unsweetened, unflavored non-dairy milk into the pan and stir to combine. Heat through and serve immediately, optionally with sliced avocado, hot sauce, parsley, steamed kale, or toast.
Notes
- Add diced onion or minced garlic before the tofu by sautéing in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add fresh spinach, kale, thinly sliced red peppers, small chopped broccoli, or diced tomatoes after adding the milk and cook for a few minutes.
- Omit the oil to make this recipe oil-free if preferred.
- Use any type of unsweetened, unflavored non-dairy milk such as soy, almond, cashew, oat, or coconut milk; cashew cream will make it extra creamy.
